What is the star system?
The star system calculates the number of pieces that were handled by Conchology, Inc. in the last 21 years:
| 0 – 5 pieces | 6 stars |
|
| 6 – 10 pieces | 5 stars |
|
| 11 - 25 pieces | 4 stars | |
| 26 - 75 pieces | 3 stars | |
| 76 - 150 pieces | 2 stars | |
| > 150 pieces | 1 star | |
We want to point out that the star system is only very reliable for PHILIPPINE shells only, as we handle very few foreign shells in general. As time goes, the system will become more and more performant.

Remarks:
This taxon was never illustrated as S. obliterata Maynard 1913. Maynard (1921b:142; 1924a:pl. 38, figs. 7, 8) subsequently published additional notes and illustrations of of this taxon under its replacement name of S. sula. Gould and Woodruff (1986:474) synonymized this taxon with Cerion glans (Küster, 1844).
